Ernie,

Since you're thinkin has been calibrated at this point, do the following:

Call several cam folks and give tell them you're looking for a roller hyd, short duration with wide lober center and big lift in order to work with about 10:1 CR and see what they suggest for the cams and exact compression before you order the pistons. Give them the numbers I gave you for a starting point and I think they can set you up nicely...

I got mine from Crane and have not had any lifter problems, but its not an FE (?).

Keep us posted.
